I have loved these videos man! I am in the middle of acquiring parts for my own 1 series swap and your video was super in depth and helpful. I look forward to the next videos showing the dash corrections and Holley info. I am not a BMW guy but wanted a good platform for the LS and these are just so cheap and easy to work on. However, the software side of stuff with correcting the dash and getting the Holley setup are my biggest fears. Wiring was also a concern but between this video and Mike's I think you guys covered everything! Great job and please keep making videos with the stuff you do to this car!
@@PartialRug thanks! I’m glad you found it at least somewhat useful. The dash lights are an easy fix, I couldn’t find a good video on how to do it easily but I’m gonna make a video showing exactly how to do it and how I got there since I had to figure it out myself. The Holley video will cover exactly what you need to setup the system to work with the bmw and also I little tune setting up
Car turned out great, looks factory, everything works, sounds sick and probably hauls ass too, building a drag/drift/grip car is one thing, doing what you did for a street build is quite another, I absolutely love it!
Pin 1/5 on that connector change by the year. That later cars with the connector with more than 8 pins are like yours, the early cars are 8 pin and pin 1. I go by color most of the time as its the same.
Man very clear and helpful video serie for ls swap Am a bmw technician, and start to get all parts to start the 128i ls swap, Will be on my chanell too You did a great job Thanks
Awesome vid man. Here in Australia, it's not easy to run aftermarket ECU's when doing engine swaps. Going to be running a standard LS1 wiring and ECU for emissions compliance ( Holden Commodore in Aus' ) Will be interesting to see if the wiring colours are consistent throughout the BMW range. I am yet to buy my BMW, but looking at E46 320i to 330ci Coupe'..... Lots of info around the internet thanks to the good ppl that are willing to share...thank you.....
Enjoyed this series, would you mind commenting on the t56 vs zf s6 gearboxes? Why go with the t56 or when should one stick with the stock bmw trans? Thanks!
@@ngige3617 I already had a T56 in the garage to use so it was a no brainer for me. I’m not sure about the zf 6 speed gearboxes torque handling abilities, and combined with needing an adaptor plate and different clutch setup, I’d be selling it and buying a t56 magnum f setup. Just simplifies things, and adapting a driveshaft is slightly easier.
Sounds fucking amazing! I have a 07 328i I would like to swap, already have an L96 but still need trans, holley, driveshaft, etc...how much $ would you say you have in the swap total, not including the cost of the car itself? I am thinking its gonna take another ~$8k give or take to get everything I need, depending on whether I go 4l60e or T56...
@@CPoston420 good question, I already had the LS1 long block and the T56 before starting this project so that saved a decent amount. All in I’m about 10k into the project including buying the car which was 3k.
Nice video. I am in PA too. I have an e84 im in the process of wiring but i have an 8 pin throttle body and my terminator x max came with a harness that states dont cut or modify. What do i do?
@@AngelR1987 if you’re running a Holley setup you’re gonna have to cut it to splice into the factory bmw pedal like in the video. For the throttle body side, they make adaptors to go from 6 pin to 8 pin. Check out psiperformance
@@Sfdgarage i have the 8 pin TB DBW, and the harness for the 8pin. I have been trying to make this work. I've been checking diagrams. I've been considering that maybe its my ls2 throttle body not being compatible. what are you using?

Damn! I wish I knew about this swap before I did my engine change. Well done.
Nice job man - I’m doing mine this winter, using a 335 gearbox - this video will be helpful! Thanks!

Nice job wiring brother!!! I just finished my Gen 4 Ls stand alone. We'll as far as I can untill I install the engine and connect it to the car!!
Sounds amazing glad to see you finished
Awesome info. Hopefully soon I'll be able to do a project like this. Thanks for the info
Good stuff mang

Wow, you made it look easy. E46 next?👀 maybe you can use my car to make a series on.
(We can talk more if you’re interested)

Rad, cross them i's and dot them t's bruh bruh!
I'm going on 3 years for mine...
Amazing! Do you know if you have to run that brake signal wire to pin 41 on the CAS if you are staying automatic?
@@Stckit1 yes you do. The only time you don’t is a factory manual car staying manual transmission
Awesome swap man, did you have to do any modifications to make the headers fit?
I’ve heard of other needing to “persuade” them on but mine bolted up no problem and cleared everything with no mods
